Tustmserviso day has been fixed for Thursday, Nov, tkh, AN agreement has been reached by the conferees from the United States Senate and House of Representatives on the Mo. Kinley bill, and the measure will go into effect on the sixth of Ootober. The duties upon agricultural products finally agreed upon are praotioally those provided for by the bill as origi tally passed by the House of Representatives. Tun Protestant Oka Indians, Who have been told by the Dominion Government that unless they move away from their old locatiou in Quebec Province, or be- come members of the Catholic church, they will get no further assistance from the Government, have sent a strong reply to Ottawa. They point out the in- consietenoies in the various letters sent them from the department, and refuse either to change their religion or move to Muskoka, es the Government desires. They add :--"We want you to tell us that you will treat us at Oka just the same as if we were white people or as if we were Roman Catholics." .A. LfolvsTsn petition has been received by the Dominion government from the French Canadians and Catholics of Manitoba asking that the ants passed by the legislature of that province abolishing the dual language and separate school systems be disallowed. The petition will no doubt be referred to Sir John Thompson, the minister of justice, who will report to the government for or against granting the prayer thereof. The question as to whether the provin- cial acts whioh'the ministers have been asked to veto are constitutional or other. wise should have; weight in influencing the decision of the government. Tar; Legislative Assembly -of New South We:es, by a vote of 97 to 18, has adopted Sir Henry Parka's scheme for an Australian federation. The Assembly has appointed a committee to repro-ent the colony at the corning federal conven- tion. New Zealand has declined to send repreeeutatives. It is therefore probable that only Australia proper and Tasmania will be included in the confederation. This, however, is quite enough. It does not really signify that New Zealand stands out, as she is distant 1,200 miles by sea from the Australian mainland. New Zealand will probably oarre her own destiny. Australia will be a large and powerful ceufedeation, with immense resources, and capsble of maintaining a large population. The country possesses a splendid climtte ; Europeans thrive there, and we believe there is a splendid destiny before it. "Ksax0NIAN's" contributions to the Canada Presbyterian are always bright and interesting. In the Last number he approaches the young man of the period with the pertinent inquiry, "How do you propose to spend the eveuings of this coming winter ?" The question deserves the moot careful consideration. Any one can "put in the time" by going out near- ly every evening. Making every allowance for social duties, a vast amount of time for the best reading might and ought to be secured between October and April.

The tariff, the force bill, and the silver bill doonments are the ones most in demand, and hundreds of thousands have been sant out. The documents are addressed, packed, and forwarded by mail or express from the Democratic headquarters. at a rate that would indicate that any one in doubt as to what Congressmen to vote for need feel no lack of both Republican and Democratic enlightenment. It may be truly- said that the Democratic Con- gressional committee is up and doing in i an unusually energetic way. The Democratic members, who were threatening to retaliate for the seating of Langston and Miller by organizing to compel the Republicans to keep their quorum in Washington in order to adopt the oonference report on the tariff bill, have reconsidered that proposition. The party managers did not favor it, as they wisely concluded that if the tariff bill was needlessly delayed the business in. terests of the country would retaliate up- on the party which was responsible for such delay. The understanding now is that the Democrats who want to go into their districts shall so, leaving enough of the party in Washington to demand and secure the yeas and nays whenever it is thought expedient to put the other silo 0o record. Democrats filibustering, so far as the present session is concerned, is over. In the House there are Kennedy Repub. lioans ; and Quay Republicans, and per- sonal Republicans, and political Repub. limns, and partisan Republicans, and patriotic Republicans, and Senate Repub- licans, and klouse Republicans, and just plain Republican Republicans.

The Mitchell .Advertiser says :--.qt n few minutes before noon on Tburedey of last week the alarm of fire SINS sounded.

Dunseith would not have taken 560 for the dog, and Mr, Stewart regrets 'very much ebooting him, Ou Monday }about noon as a train was passing the upper station at St. Marys a gentleman was throwing advertising cards to those near by. A son of Mr. Scott, the yardman, ran forward to get one and was struck by the stets on the passenger car, on the side of the head, and was badly injured. At first it WWI doubtful whether he would recover, but we have heard that he is improving and will be around all right again. A. F. Rose, merchant, of Petrolea, started out Monday of last week, to de- liver a load of goods, and before getting very far, complained of feeling ill. He got off the wagon and had reached the door of his store when be dropped to the ground, saying to his wife who had hastened to him that he felt a severe pale at his heart and in his shoulder. When the doctor arrived a few minutes later he found that life was extinct. Mr. Rose was one time a resident of St. Marys, and his widow is a daughter of 40110 Adair of that town, and is loft with a family of nine children. The Mitchell Advertiser says :—While in Mitchell the Rev. Mr. Rogers dropped into our sanctum to say "How do you do," and also inquire after oar spiritual condition. That being all satisfactory, other matters and things were spoken abort, and in our friendly conversation we perceived that the preacher was also a husbandman, a botanist and a fruit grower. At the parsonage in Atwood 11150 have a spleudid orchard of choice fruit. The rev. gentleman informs us that this season he picked over 50 pails of plums of different varieties, besides an abundance of other fruit of varione kinds—nearly every fruit flourishes there except the forbidden fruit. There is none of that for 11e allowed his parishion- ers to come and help themselves. Ou Friday evening of last week, while C. D. Swanson, lot 10, 14th con., of Dow- nie, wan preparing his wagon to draw a load of cheese to the station next morning, his son, Alva Edison, was bringing the horses to the stable. Some young horses name galloping up and began playing with the team he was driving, a1d one of the span kicked him on the head just above the temple. He became uncon- scious, but recovered before his tether found him. Next morning he got up, dressed and went to tha barn, but soon returned and lay clown for a while. Some liniment was secured to bathe the bruise, but it was not considered danger- ous. On Sunday morning about 3 o'clock Mr. Swanson was awakened by the heavy breathing of his son, and medical aid was sent for but he expired almost im- mediately. It is supposed that some small blood vessel had been burst near the blain. The boy was nearly 12 years of age, an active, intelligent, manly little fellow and the only child, and hill be very sorely missed by his bereaved par- ents, His remains were interred in St. Marys Cemetery on Monday.
